Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
- 1/2 onion diced fine (See Note 1)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- 1 lemon zest (2 tbsp)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Sauce
- Pesto Alfredo Sauce (as shown)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and zest the lemon. In a small sauté pan, toast the pine nuts until golden and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the ground chicken, onion, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, pine nuts, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and egg. Mix well to incorporate.
- With a small scoop, make 24 meatballs and roll with your hands, arrange them on a foil lined, rimmed baking pan sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Using a brush, gently coat each meatball with the olive oil or cooking spray. Bake for 18 minutes.
- Remove meatballs from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce or my Pesto Alfredo over cooked pasta of choice.
Notes
